Last Collection of Entertainment: Theatrical Broadsides and Playbills, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Provenance This collection forms part of the Jay T. Last Collection of Graphic Arts and Social History, which was donated to the Huntington Library by Jay T. Last in 2005 as a gift in progress. The bulk of the Theatrical Broadsides and Playbills was transferred to the Library between 2010 and 2012. A majority of the playbills were originally compiled by American minstrel and variety show performer and theatrical manager Al Emmett Fostell (1856-1920) as part of his extensive collection of historical theatrical memorabilia. These items were acquired by Last in 2009 from Jack Bacon & Company. Background The Jay T. Last Collection is an unparalleled archive of printed paper artifacts that documents American lithographic, social, and business history. The collection began in the early 1970s when physicist and Silicon Valley pioneer Jay Last moved to Southern California and started collecting citrus box labels he found at local flea markets and rummage sales. As his collection grew, Last realized that these labels conveyed important information about commercial printing, graphic design, and social history, and he expanded his collection to include other forms of American visual culture. Today this collection contains more than 200,000 lithographic prints, posters, and ephemera of mostly nineteenth- and early twentieth- century American origin and represents works by more than five hundred lithographic companies. Scope and Content This collection contains approximately 1,000 printed 19th and early 20th century entertainment broadsides, playbills, and related advertisements, and forms a subset within the Jay T. Last Collection of Entertainment. These items advertise priJLC_ENT_TBroadsides 2 theatrical performances including plays, variety entertainment such as minstrel, burlesque, and vaudeville shows, and optical displays such as dioramas, living statues, and tableaus. Over 250 theaters primarily from the Northeastern United States are represented in the collection, though there are also materials from theaters in the Midwestern, Southern, and Western United States, and approximately 26 items from Canada, Ireland, England, and Scotland. Theaters with the largest subsets include the Boston Museum (Boston, Massachusetts) with 120 items, Liberty Hall (New Bedford, Massachusetts) with 96 items, Theatre Comique (New York, New York) with 66 items, and the Troy Museum (Troy, New York) with 47 items. The materials date from 1809 to 1923, with the bulk of the items spanning between 1840 and 1890. The earliest dated item in the collection is an August 1809 playbill from the Lyceum Theatre in London, England; the most recent item is a March 1923 broadside for the Hyperion Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut. Almost all of the items are in English except for an Italian bill for the Teatro Italiano (New York, New York) and a Spanish bill for the Gutierrez Show; there is also one bill for the Heywood Bros. Combination that has both English and German text. The materials range in size from approximately 9 ½ x 6 inches to 42 ½ x 14 inches and consist of single-sheet unfolded advertisements for theatrical productions that were intended to be distributed by hand, posted on walls, fences, or in windows, or sold to playgoers entering the theater. The printed text typically includes the name of the theater and lists information about the play or entertainment, names of performers, acts or scenes, dates and times of performances, and admission prices. Often the text publicized multiple performances over the course of a day or a few days. Among the names given to these types of advertisements, according to their size and mode of distribution, are broadsides, dodgers, handbills, hangers, playbills, posters, and show bills. The notices in this collection are primarily long, narrow broadsides printed on one side of newsprint paper in black ink using letterpress type of varying fonts and size, though some have colored ink, colored paper, or woodcut illustrations. More than 100 bills have illustrations, often consisting of head-and-shoulder portraits of show proprietors or performers, depictions of performances by minstrel blackface entertainers and musicians, or scenes from plays or variety show acts. The items are grouped by theater and arranged in folders according to the geographic location of the theater, with the largest number coming from theaters in the Northeast United States. The states and foreign countries with theaters represented in the collection consist of: • Northeast (805 items): Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island • Midwest (62 items): Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin • South (61 items): Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. • West (6 items): California and Colorado • Foreign (26 items): Canada, Ireland, England, Scotland There are also approximately thirty playbills focused on specific performers or shows without theater information, as well as two playbills for unidentified locations. Among the most commonly credited printers in the collection are Metropolitan Job Printing (New York, New York); Richardson & Foos (New York, New York); Cameron & Co. (New York, New York); C.L. Mac Arthur (Troy, New York); F.A. Searle (Boston, Massachusetts); Hooton’s Press (Boston, Massachusetts); and the Van Benthuysen Printing House (Albany, New York). The contents list below contains a brief entry for each item in the collection. All entries include the theater name and date if known; some entries also include additional notes that typically indicate the presence of illustrations or minstrel troupes featured in the text.

  • 1 Word Count (Inc. Footnotes): 7,157 Music to Some Consequence
    Word count (inc. footnotes): 7,157 Music to some Consequence: Reaction, Reform, Race Philosophers have often been at a loss to explain the secret of the strange power which patriotic tunes seem to exercise over the people . but the mystery is at an end if we are willing to attribute to music the power which I have claimed for it, of pitching high the plane of the emotions, and driving them home with the most efficacious and incomparable energy.1 When the cleric and musical theorist Hugh Reginald Haweis, writing in the 1870s, sought to epitomise his belief in the emotional power of music, he turned to the sphere of national politics. Eighty years earlier, loyalists reacting to the French Revolution turned just as naturally to music: in a much-quoted letter to the activist John Reeves, “A friend to Church and State” maintained that “[A]ny thing written in voice & especially to an Old English tune . made a more fixed Impression on the Minds of the Younger and Lower Class of People, than any written in Prose.”2 Across eight intervening decades these opinions were repeatedly put into practice, as political actors sought to use music “as a powerful secondary agent to deepen and intensify the emotion already awakened by the words of [their creed].”3 Music’s potency was understood to inhere in its ability to arouse and amplify the passions – and though the underlying medical theories shifted over the century, the idea remained: music had a power to mobilise, energise, even effect action by engaging the body and spirit as well as the mind.

  • Ashton Patriotic Sublime.5.Pdf (9.823Mb)
    commercial spaces like theaters, and to performances spanning the gamut from the solemn, to the joyous. This diversity encompassed celebrations outside the expected calendar of national days. Patriotic sentiment was even a key feature of events celebrating the economic and commercial expansion of the new nation. The commemorative celebration for the laying of the foundation-stone of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the “great national work which is intended and calculated to cement more strongly the union of the Eastern and the Western States,” took place on July 4, 1828.1 It beautifully illustrated the musical ties that bound different spaces together – in this case a parade route, a temporary outdoor civic space, and the permanent space of the Holliday Street Theatre. Organizers chose July Fourth for the event, wishing to signal civic pride and affective patriotism. Baltimore filled with visitors in the days before the celebration, so that on the morning of the Fourth the “immense throng of spectators…filled every window in Baltimore-street, and the pavement below….fifty thousand spectators, at least, must have been present.” The parade was massive and incorporated a great diversity of groups, including “bands of music, trades, and other bodies.” One focal point was a huge model, “completely rigged,” of a naval vessel, the “Union,” complete with uniformed sailors. Bands playing patriotic tunes were interspersed amongst the nationalist imagery on display: militia uniforms, banners emblazoned with patriotic verse, national flags, eagle figures, shields, and more. Charles Carrollton, one of the last surviving signers of the Declaration of Independence, gave the main public address at the site, accompanied by a march composed for the occasion, the “Carrollton March” (see Figure 2.4).

  • A History of Music in Old Mount Vernon, Ohio with Particular Attention to Woodward Hall and the Nineteenth-Century American Opera House
    A HISTORY OF MUSIC IN OLD MOUNT VERNON, OHIO WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO WOODWARD HALL AND THE NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICAN OPERA HOUSE A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elizabeth Bleecker McDaniel, B.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Master's Examination Committee Approved by Dr. Graeme M. Boone, Adviser Dr. Charles M. Atkinson _________________________ Adviser Mr. Christopher R. Weait School of Music ABSTRACT During the antebellum period, the town of Mount Vernon, Ohio had a flourishing music scene that included performances by both local amateur societies and professional touring groups. When Woodward Hall, located on the top floor of a four-story commercial building, opened its doors to the public in 1851, it provided the town with its first dedicated theater. Newspaper items and other early sources show that the hall was a focus of public culture in the 1850s, hosting concerts, plays, lectures, and art exhibits as well as community activities including dances, church fundraisers, and school exhibitions. The early source materials for Mount Vernon, however, like those for many small towns, are lacunary, and especially so in the case of Woodward Hall. These shortcomings are compensated, to some extent, by materials relating to theaters of similar size and age in other towns, which offer points of comparison for the Woodward and prove it to be a typical mid-nineteenth-century American theater in some respects, and a distinctive one in others. Modern-day music histories have heretofore been silent on the subject of music and opera houses in small towns despite Oscar Sonneck’s call, some ninety years ago, for local music historiography as a necessary first step in creating a complete history of American music.
